Beef roasted low and slow, shaved thin and piled hot onto toasted ciabatta with melted Swiss, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato and creamy garlic aioli — with a side of golden fries. It is the sandwich that turns a downtown London lunch break into something worth leaving the office for.
The roast is the whole dish. We cook the beef gently until it is tender enough to shave into thin, ribboned slices that stay juicy under heat, then build the sandwich hot so the Swiss melts down into the beef rather than sitting on top of it. Ciabatta is toasted for structure — it holds the juices without going soft.
Garlic aioli, lettuce and vine-ripened tomato keep it from being heavy, and crispy golden fries come on the side as standard. It is a familiar Canadian comfort-food sandwich, executed with the kind of ingredients and technique you expect from a downtown kitchen and bar rather than a deli counter.

“The comfort food is the standout. The smash burger and the roast beef sandwich are flavourful, well prepared and generously portioned — familiar dishes given a modern twist.”

“An excellent addition to downtown London. Friendly staff, a welcoming vibe, and a room that is clearly built for the people who work and live downtown. You end up lingering over the meal instead of rushing back to the office.”
